I can understand raging over artificially cropped video that
should be 16:9, which is what Freezing is. But I do see more and more complaints about older natively-4:3 content as well.
When it comes down to it, I don't see much difference between watching 16:9 letterboxed on a 4:3 screen and 4:3 pillarboxed on a 16:9 screen. Same black bars, just different places.And I do have experience with the latter via portable DVD players. I guess haters gonna hate, so I'll just have to hope that companies/encoders don't cater to them by stretching or cropping 4:3 content. As often happens with US movies and TV these days
